Nearest I can tell, On the down-wind leg of my approach, I must have llost my left outboard motor. She spiraled in near some houses. It was far enough away that I had to drive to get to where it went down. By the time I got there... Plane was gone and "nobody saw anything". Total loss.

I saw where it went down. I talked to a cat lady who blatantly told me that if she finds it she's going to keep it. My suspicion is that she DID find it and took it in and put it with her stash of baseballs, frisbees, footballs, and soccer balls that she's likely collected from the neiborhood kids over the years. "Those darn kids!". I guess she's teaching me a lesson.

If I were you I'd ask the local cops to have a quiet chat with this 'cat lady'. More than likely they already know her fairly well.

One of the neighbors had a talk with the cat lady and convinced her to give me the plane/wreckage. I went by and it was sitting in front of her house in a cardboard box. At least I got the electronics and the pieces. Not that I'll be able to put Humpty Dumpty back together, but that's better than a total loss.
